+@cindex circular trace buffer
+If your target agent supports a @dfn{circular trace buffer}, then you
+can run a trace experiment indefinitely without filling the trace
+buffer; when space runs out, the agent deletes already-collected trace
+frames, oldest first, until there is enough room to continue
+collecting. This is especially useful if your tracepoints are being
+hit too often, and your trace gets terminated prematurely because the
+buffer is full. To ask for a circular trace buffer, simply set
+@samp{circular_trace_buffer} to on. You can set this at any time,
+including during tracing; if the agent can do it, it will change
+buffer handling on the fly, otherwise it will not take effect until
+the next run.
+
+@table @code
+@item set circular-trace-buffer on
+@itemx set circular-trace-buffer off
+@kindex set circular-trace-buffer
+Choose whether a tracing run should use a linear or circular buffer
+for trace data. A linear buffer will not lose any trace data, but may
+fill up prematurely, while a circular buffer will discard old trace
+data, but it will have always room for the latest tracepoint hits.
+
+@item show circular-trace-buffer
+@kindex show circular-trace-buffer
+Show the current choice for the trace buffer. Note that this may not
+match the agent's current buffer handling, nor is it guaranteed to
+match the setting that might have been in effect during a past run,
+for instance if you are looking at frames from a trace file.
